Does anyone know how I could send multiple emails from my database application going through Lotus Notes? I have already tried using the MAPI function that creates the email, but it pops up a seperate window for each recipient and does not send them automatically. I do want the individual emails, but I don’t want 20 New Memo windows opened that I have to click send on each one. Apparently using these same MAPI functions going to Oulook does invoke the message to be sent automatically. Wondering if there is a way to invoke the send automatically or if we can drop a formated email in an outbox on the Domino server. I’m kind of new to Lotus Notes so don’t know all the ins and outs yet.
We have also found a problem with MAPI and it is a pending bug listed with support. Still not fixed in 6.01. When issuing more then about 11 or 12 email addresses through the MAPI interface Lotus truncates everything in the to: field to just a few characters. If you send 5 or 6 emails, the to: field is populated correctly with all email addresses. We are sending these emails from our database application. Does anybody else do this maybe a different way?
Subject: What kind of “database application” are you sending from?
Is it Notes/Domino? Then I refer you to the docs on @MailSend or NotesDocument.Send .
Subject: RE: What kind of “database application” are you sending from?
No it is not a Notes Database it is an MS SQL database application.

Open a command prompt window, change to the Notes program directory and run “regsvr32 nlsxbe.dll”.Then reference in your VB project “Lotus Domino Objects” (domobj.tlb) to get fast vtable early binding support.
You will then have backend class LotusScript objects.

Is there a source I can read more about this. I am not that familiar with all that is available to me in Domino as far as classes and objects. I am new to Lotus Notes and need a little more direction.
Subject: RE: The is VB available? If so use the COM model.
A good source for the classes, properties and methods is Designer Help, LotusScript/COM/OLE Classes. All of the available classes are listed, along with their applicability and behaviour in COM.
Subject: Install the Designer Client. When you open it, you will see a class map of the Notes Object Model.
Look at the NotesSession, NotesDatabase, NotesDocument.Send classes and methods.
